Zongshen ZSM 200gy basic service info.

[SgtRope]

Hi all.

I am new to this forum and just bought my first bike a 2012 Zongeshen ZSM 200gy . I bought the bike with 1000km (620miles) and paid R9000 ($850) for it which is not bad i guess.

As for looks its still brand new and everything is still stock standard.
I will be using the bike to go to work and back which is about 50miles return.

That being said I would like to do a few basic upgrades that wont brake the bank. I would like to turn the bike more into an endurance than city bike , so torque is not that important , i would like more top end speed witout punishing the engin.

i was thinking of getting a smaller rear wheel sprocket . i currently have a WLJF 46-428 sprocket on the rear. i was thinkinf of a 44 tooth sprocket just to get that extra 10kph.

i would alos like to get a new spark plug , air filter ,petrol filter and oil change.

If you can give met the right advice from what to buy that would be great.

Indeed, you got a good deal. :tup:

I will keep my responses limited to this thread, since it's confusing to have three threads on the same topic. ;) Read the following thread for information regarding your choices in rear sprockets.

I suggest you get the recommended, NGK D8EA spark plug.

Unless you decide to remove the air box and install a pod air filter, you don't have any options other than the stock air filter. Incidentally, the stock air filter does a great job. ;) At a minimum, I suggest you clean the stock air filter, and oil it with BelRay Air Filter Oil, or the equivalent. :)

Any fuel filter which fits your fuel link will work well for you. Just make sure you install it in the correct orientation if it is directional. ;)

Any good motor oil will work well for you. I recommend you change the engine oil at least every 2,000 kms. You can learn how to change the engine oil by reading the following thread. ;)
